SAP-C02 Question #670: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

A company is preparing to deploy an Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) cluster for a workload. The company expects the cluster to support an unpredictable number of stateless pods. Many of the pods will be created during a short time period as the workload automatically scales the number of replicas that the workload uses. Which solution will MAXIMIZE node resilience?

Options

• AUse a separate launch template to deploy the EKS control plane into a second cluster that is
• BUpdate the workload node groups. Use a smaller number of node groups and larger instances in
• CConfigure the Kubernetes Cluster Autoscaler to ensure that the compute capacity of the workload
• DConfigure the workload to use topology spread constraints that are based on Availability Zone.

Explanation

The goal is to maximize node resilience for an EKS cluster with an unpredictable, rapidly scaling number of stateless pods.

Common mistakes.

• A. Deploying the EKS control plane to a second cluster is not related to maximizing node resilience for the workload's pods; EKS already manages control plane redundancy across AZs.
